GILBERT (GIL) WATMOUGH
After a long and dignified battle with Alzheimer’s disease, Dad passed away peacefully on October 28, 2012 at Taber’s Long Term Care Facility. Dad was predeceased by his father Albert Watmough and mother Mable Crowe, brothers Roy Watmough, Harvey Watmough, Albert Watmough, and sister Doris Pearson. Dad was also predeceased by sisters-in-law Shirley Watmough and Eileen Watmough and brother-in-law Norm Pearson. He was also predeceased by numerous nephews and nieces.
Dad will be missed by his children Gayle (Jack) Kwantes of Vancouver, BC, Don Watmough of Peterbrough, Ont, Tracy Watmough of Peterbrough, Ont, Step son Rick (Lynn) De Long of Belleview, Ab, Kimberly Watmough of Peterbrough, Ont and Cynthia Watmough of Lethbridge, Ab. Dad is survived by several grandchildren and great grandchildren. Dad also leaves behind to morn his passing brothers Chet (Judy) Watmough of Winfield, BC and Alvin (Ida) Watmough of Okotoks, Ab. Dad also leaves behind his beloved nephews and nieces.
Dad was born in Lethbridge, Ab in Galt Garden’s hospital on September 15, 1925. He was a precocious child who displayed a knack for quick witted answers and practical jokes, much to the chagrin of his teachers. After leaving school at an early age, Dad helped, along with his brother Harvey, to tend to his maternal grandmother and grandfather. Dad’s lifelong love of vehicles began at an early age as he drove taxi and Greyhound bus. Just prior to joining the army, Dad worked in the Shaughnessy coal mine. After his discharge from the army, Dad went back driving taxi until he started his lifelong passion of being a truck driver. Dad helped to pioneer long haul trucking from the West to the East and had to drive on roads that were less than desirable. He was proud of the fact that he had driven through most of North America. Once he retired he focused his attention of his other passion of repairing his vehicles, as well as helping family with their cars. Despite not having any formal training in mechanics, Dad was able to rebuild motors and transfer a motor from one vehicle to another, until sadly the disease Dad so valiantly fought took away this love. Dad also loved music and often could be heard singing or whistling along to his favorite songs and continued to do so even as his memory began to increasingly fail him.
Dad’s big smile and humorous nature will be sadly missed by all those that knew and loved him. His children and grandchildren will also miss his words of wisdom. Dad you will be always loved and forever remembered by all those that loved you.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to: Taber and District Health Foundation, Attention to the Long Term Care Unit 4326 50th Ave Taber, Ab T1G 1N9 the Alzheimer Society Suit 402 740 4th Ave South Lethbridge, Ab, T1J 0N9

JAMES POYNTON
James William George Poynton of Ponoka (formerly of Vauxhall, Alberta) passed away on Thursday, November 1, 2012 at the age of forty-eight years from complications following surgery. James is survived by his mother Carol Poynton, a resident of Ponoka Long Term Care; his brother Craig (Barb) Poynton of Coquitlam, B.C.; his sister Valerie (Doug) Keyes of Leduc County; his sister Kathleen Poynton of Vernon, B.C.; his brother Kelly (Ryta Wolf) Poynton of Calgary; his aunt Marion Purschke of Victoria, B.C.; three cousins, four nieces and three nephews; as well as his friends and caring staff at the Centennial Centre for Mental Health and Brain Injury, where James was a long time resident. James was predeceased by his father Robert Poynton; his grandparents William and Jessie Poynton and George and Ruth Conley; his uncle Jack Poynton, his aunt Shirley (Poynton) Scanlon; and his uncles Bob Scanlon and Albert Purschke. James was born on July 18, 1964 in Taber, Alberta and grew up on the family farm south of Vauxhall. He attended school in Vauxhall. At a young age James demonstrated a talent for mechanical work and welding. He built his own go-cart at age nine. Our dad taught him how to overhaul motors, weld farm equipment and operate machinery on our farm. From racing motocross to riding at the farm, James loved to ride his dirtbike on the wide, open prairie at the Old Man River. Building model rockets and launching them into the fields across from our home was a childhood delight for James. In recent years on every birthday he built a rocket and we launched it. James was a loving, gentle soul and in spite of his mental and physical illnesses, he demonstrated incredible strength to carry on. At the Centennial Centre in Ponoka he enjoyed working outdoors on the “Garden Gang” that maintained the grounds. He was an enthusiastic gardener and helped to plant and to harvest the garden, to rake leaves and shovel snow. He was also active at the patient school and in the woodworking shop where he built many birdhouses and shelves. He especially loved the outings arranged by the staff: going fishing near Blackfalds or daytrips to Peaceful Valley. James also enjoyed trips out with his family, from cheering on the Edmonton Eskimos, to spending a day at the Reynolds Museum, to just enjoying a family meal, a bonfire, or a walk down a country road. He always looked forward to the five-hour road trip back to Vauxhall and the old farm. Less than a month ago he spent a weekend there with his brothers driving the John Deere tractor and helping with maintenance around the farm. Our parents dedicated so much love and energy in advocating and caring for him in his illness and James was able to return that devotion as mom’s most loyal visitor after she moved to the Long Term Care facility in Ponoka. James’ presence in our family was always cherished and we will miss him. A Funeral Service will be held at St. Mary’s Anglican Church in Ponoka at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 8, 2012. The Interment Service will be held on Saturday at the Vauxhall Cemetery. Memorial donations are gratefully accepted to The Centennial Centre For Mental Health and Brain Injury Malmo House Donation Fund.
